What's On My Blogroll? (Part 8)

Postmodernbarney.com
One of my first stops when going through my blogroll, this blog has consistently good comic reviews, media finds, and great out-of-context panels. I read it all, even the non-comic related posts (and that's saying something, the way I zoom through the blogs some mornings!). Recent good stuff: Sublimation Ahoy!

Pretty, Fizzy Paradise
Another read-it-first blog, Kalinara's writing is both inspirational (in that--along with the next blog on the list--she inspired me to start my own comic blog) and persuasive (in that--along with the next blog on the list--she got this Marvel girl started buying DC comics because she just made them sound so inviting!). Always interesting and well-written. Recent good stuff: Pardon My Language.

Ragnell's Written World
This blog is the other main reason my own blog exists, and is additionally responsible for my becoming interested in Green Lantern (and if you knew how dull I thought GL was when I was a kid, you'd realize how significant this is!). Both thought-provoking and entertaining. Recent good stuff: On Harsh Criticism.

Random Happenstance
Great discussion of older comics, insightful character studies (including a firm understanding of the always-complex Dr. Doom), analysis of Silver Age titles--all the fun stuff, in other words. Recent good stuff: Unless they make an action figure of him, that Talky Tawny/Man-Wolf crossover's not gonna happen.

Random Panels
Just like it says, panels taken--usually well free of context--from older books, sometimes embellished, often presented in all their native glory. This blog has a knack for digging up the Silver Age silliness, and has provided me with many laugh-out-loud moments. Recent good stuff: Stop! Hammertime!

More soon to come...
